Kimchi & Pineapple Salad

This fresh kimchi salad showcases the bold, tangy flavors of traditional Korean kimchi alongside sweet pineapple, crisp pear, cooling mint, cilantro, and scallions. A drizzle of our Pineapple White Balsamic and Cilantro Garlic White Balsamic enhances the tropical fruit while adding bright, savory acidity. Refreshing, flavorful, and packed with contrast, it’s the perfect side dish for grilled meats and summer gatherings.

Ingredients: 

1 cup kimchi, chopped and drained 

1 cup pineapple, chopped 

1 cup green pear, chopped 

¼ cup fresh mint, chopped 

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped 

¼ cup fresh scallions, chopped 

2 tablespoons Pineapple White Balsamic Vinegar 

2 tablespoons Cilantro Garlic White Balsamic Vinegar 

2 teaspoons Roasted Sesame Oil 

½ teaspoon white sesame seeds 

½ teaspoon black sesame seeds 

Directions:

Place kimchi, pineapple, pear, mint, cilantro, and scallions in a large bowl. Drizzle the ingredients with Pineapple White Balsamic, Cilantro Garlic White Balsamic, and Roasted Sesame Oil. Toss to coat and combine the salad. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving. We love this salad with grilled shellfish, especially shrimp seasoned with our Pepe e Aglio Seasoning Blend.
